GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Most of the time i've spent here has been really good academic wise but i will say i am lagging in the math department due to the failure of good teaching. I have never had a good math teacher here except one (miss goering). The food also sucks most of the time. They also don't take bullying allegations seriously and they wonder why there's so many fights. other than that it's okay i guess.

i like how with most things youre free but with some you aren't. things i would do to change it is. number one hire new teachers. number two make it possible to pass the classes easier. number three allow the driving students to park at the gym and be able to walk through the gym doors.

The schools is too big and your just a number. I'm a senior and I've tried many times to talk to my guidance counselor but she's never available. Glad to be graduating.
